Our Name

Our name has particular meaning to us. It doesn’t mean that we love wine or grape juice (though some of us do). We are called The Vine Church because Jesus said:

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5)

Jesus uses the vibrant imagery of a grapevine to communicate the truth that he is the source of life, and that our highest call is to “remain,” or stay close, to him. Therefore, as a church, Jesus is at the center of all that we do. He is our life, our vision, our hope, and the focus of our worship and devotion.
